Executive Director Deb Socia joined Mayor Nancy McFarlane of Raleigh, NC, Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, TX, and President of CTC Energy & Technology, Joanne Hovis on a panel at the USCM Winter Meeting titled “Getting to Superfast Internet – A Playbook for Cities.” The panelists discussed how cities can attract investment in next-generation Internet infrastructure, successful models for public-private partnerships, and how new technologies could soon transform the ways Americans get online.

“City leaders must have the ability to explore all options when determining how to bring high-speed, reliable broadband to their communities ” Deb Socia said. “Next Century Cities is in a unique position to help educate cities on existing models, encourage city-to-city learning, and provide information on federal and state legislation that will impact broadband deployment.”
